Growing up in the 80s/90s was the best! Everything was simple and fun, life wasn't too serious and being cool was actually a thing that people could be. With no mobile phones or amazing internet to keep us busy we had to make our own fun, which typically meant heading to the park or a friend's house, to see who was out or in so we could get them out!

Being surrounded by soooo many amazing 80s T-Shirts, it feels like we are always on a retro nostalgia trip here. Thinking back over some of our best childhood memories, we decided to put them all together and create our ultimate list of what it meant to be growing up at this special time.

Pack your bags folks! We're taking a short trip down memory lane, likely to include a healthy mix of nostalgia, perhaps a few painful memories and of course as much 8O's awesomeness as we can carry! Sit back and enjoy our top 20 Ways -  You Know You're an 80s Baby if....

1. You still think ten years ago was in the 90s...

2. You hoped one day be as cool as the teens in John Hughes movie...

3. You have ever played with a Skip-It....

Hello movie fans!! While some films are remembered for their earth shattering story, their amazing cast and the performance of their careers, other films stand the test of time by one or more simple quotes that just stick in our minds and have featured in many other places ever since. But is what people remember actually what is said in the film?? Turns out, maybe not!

Yep, sadly even us huuuuge movie nerds have been getting a few of these wrong. Doh! Not wanting to sound like a frantic school teacher, prepping their red pen ready to mark up some of your work, take a look at some of these little corrections to some of the most famous movie quotes ever.....

Dirty Harry

Often said: Do you feel lucky, punk?

But actually: Being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?

Such a timeless classic, we just had to get to work thinking up and creating some fantastic designs that all you fans out there will love just asm uch as we do. So! To get you super inspired and as a slight celebration of our fab new range, check out our 10 Things You Didn't Know About Alice In Wonderland!

1. In the 1930s, the novel was banned in China on the grounds that animals should not use the language of humans!

2. Name change! Before it was called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the author actually named it Alice's Adventures Under Ground. (The characters in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland called it Under Land.)

3. Mock Turtle soup IS REAL! It was a popular dish in Victorian times. It was made from various odd parts of a calf. EEEEW!

4. The 1951 movie adaptation is actually a combination of Lewis Carroll's two "Alice" books, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". Maybe not such a hidden fact but still cool!

5. Since it was first published, Alice In Wonderland has never been out of print and has been translated into at least 97 languages. Amazing! Asombroso! Sorprendente! Incroyable!
